Back up the Big Black Mountain we toiled, and late in the afternoon we were on the State line that runs the crest of the Big Black. Right on top and bisected by that State line sat a dingy little shack, and there, with one leg thrown over the pommel of his saddle, sat Marston, drinking water from a gourd.英文原著 · 《A Knight of the Cumberland》
But it ought to have been twice only, as you will remember. And does not this line, reaching from corner to corner, bisect each of these spaces? And are there not here four equal lines which contain this space? There are. Look and see how much this space is. I do not understand. Has not each interior line cut off half of the four spaces? And how many spaces are there in this section?英文原著 · 《Meno》
They turned aside at the cemetery to wait until the sun went down. It was unfenced, unsodded, and a wagon trail ran through the middle, bisecting the square. On one side were the French graves, with white crosses; on the other side the German graves, with black crosses. Poppies and cornflower ran over them. The Americans strolled about, reading the names. Here and there the soldier's photograph was nailed upon his cross, left by some comrade to perpetuate his memory a little longer.英文原著 · 《One of Ours》
When Chicken awoke his car was stationary. Looking out between the slats he saw it was a bright, moonlit night. Scrambling out, he saw his car with three others abandoned on a little siding in a wild and lonesome country. A cattle pen and chute stood on one side of the track. The railroad bisected a vast, dim ocean of prairie, in the midst of which Chicken, with his futile rolling stock, was as completely stranded as was Robinson with his land-locked boat.英文原著 · 《Roads of Destiny》
"Ther bloomin' little skeezicks!" said Whistling Dick, with a broad grin bisecting his freckled face. "W't d' yer think of dat, now! Mer-ry Chris-mus! Sounded like a cuckoo clock, da'ts what she did.

We threaded our way through this thicket, all peering into the bisecting deer trails for cougar tracks in the dust. "Bring the dogs! Hurry!" suddenly called Jones from a thicket. We lost no time complying, and found him standing in a trail, with his eyes on the sand. "Take a look, boys. A good-sized male cougar passed here last night. Hyar, Sounder, Don, Moze, come on!"
It was a nervous, excited pack of hounds. Old Jude got to Jones first, and she sang out; then Sounder opened with his ringing bay, and before Jones could mount, a string of yelping dogs sailed straight for the forest.英文原著 · 《The Last of the Plainsmen》
